    Игра прекрасная, невероятная атмосфера, очень хороший сюжет и затягивающий геймплей, но то что во время рыбалки леска не краснеет как в Far Cry 5 меня очень сильно разочаровала, это не приемлемая ошибка со стороны рокстар и по этому моя оценка такая низкая.

Not only do they take full price for a game which came out on consoles a year ago, they don't even take the time to fix it and make it playable. Wish i could review it badly multiple times on here and on Steam, because with this game, Rockstar has shown themselves to be a contender to the worst gaming company alongside EA. Totally shameful and disgusting. Expand

    I am giving this game a 2/10 because it is a beautiful and immersive game when you can play, however, you're more likely to become an actual rockstar than finish story mode. It was completely unplayable for nearly 2 weeks after release and now, months later and 44% through the single player campaign, it is again completely unplayable.

    I am giving this game a 2/10 because it is a beautiful and immersive game when you can play, however, you're more likely to become an actual rockstar than finish story mode. It was completely unplayable for nearly 2 weeks after release and now, months later and 44% through the single player campaign, it is again completely unplayable.

    I was enjoying the game normally on a Tuesday night, but I took a break to hit the gym and go to work the next morning anticipating another night of play on Wednesday. Wednesday night came and I found that my autosave crashed to desktop.

    There is no way to access your manual saves from the start menu. Seriously, that isn't hyperbole, you literally can't load a game from the menu. To load a manual save you must load into an autosave OR into multiplayer. Great.

    So I started multiplayer and, as soon as it loaded in, I attempted to load ALL of my saves one at a time. The autosave continues to crash the game to desktop and ALL other saves load indefinitely, never starting the game.

    I followed all of Rockstar's canned "fixes" and none of them have done a thing to resolve this issue. I submitted a ticket, set to be responded to in 24 hours, and received zero response.

    Finally, as I have invested time and money into the game, I attempted to start a new game from the beginning. This is also NOT possible from the menu. You must load into an autosave or online server to access the story menu. Except I still cannot start a new game, even after loading into online mode. The menu says "New Game is unavailable at this time" or something along those lines.

    I assume that if I sat through the opening tutorial of online play that I would be able to finally get back to the game I want to play, but I am fed up.

    Do not buy this game.

Also, it's not too uncommon to encounter bugs even though the level of detail in the open world is amazing. Expand

    A gem of a game that refuses to allow you to control the main character in any way. You will start to find yourself lost in this game, drawn in, thrilled by what it has to offer.

You will start to find yourself lost in this game, drawn in, thrilled by what it has to offer. Then the horrific control system kicks in and you are reminded very very harshly that you are just playing a video game. couple that with a ridiculously outdated save system from PS1 times, any and all hiccups on account of the game are magnified tenfold due to the backtracking needed to be done.

    You are constantly fighting the game just to play the game. How any of the professional reviewers overlooked this HUGE blemish on the game is beyond me. it is your connection to the game, your physical connection through the keyboard and controller. Every time the character decides to do something different to what you expect (as the past 20 times you pressed that button it did one thing) it rips your right out of any immersion you may have.

    Here are some examples:

    1) The button to "untie hostage" and "kick hostage to death" is the same button relevant to how close to the target you are.
    2) the game will SOMETIMES aim a weapon when left trigger is pulled, SOMETIMES it will request you also them press the right trigger to aim a weapon.
    3) Auto aim will prefer to target characters you can speak to, not characters you can shoot.
    4) At one point "X" accepts an offer and "B" rejects it, then just minutes later with the same character "X" becomes reject, and "B" becomes accept.

    The game is a Ferrari with no wheels. yeah, you have a Ferrari but you cant do anything with it except leave it out of gear and rev the engine while its still inside your garage.

I am playing this game on Ryzen 3600 with AMD RX 5500XT 8GB and my PC can run the game at 60FPS @ 1080p with custom settings (medium to ultra). Speaking of 60FPS I used to play this game a little bit on PS4 Pro and PC version with at 60FPS makes for so much better game play.

    I make these remarks as a veteran of numerous RPGs over the past two decades. I've never minded that there is a path of evil intent in such games; most give me good options as well as bad ones. RDR2 is not an RPG, it's a walk down the mean streets of human nature. There's no escape, no way to accomplish objectives without gunning down innocent bystanders, no way to triumph over temptation and choose the high road.

    America doesn't need "art" like this. I hope the developers will use their wealth for better purposes in future.

    - El detalle facial creo que es bastante mejorable y desentonan con el resto de elementos gráficos, pero también entiendo que son cientos de personajes únicos, lo cuál lo justifica.

    Pros:
    1) Unique Wild West theme. Probably the #1 Western game series of all time.
    2) High media quality. Great graphics, great audio, etc.
    3) Long, detailed story driven.

    Cons:
    1) Crashes a lot. The immersion of the game is broken since you have to constantly manually save.
    Can't count how many times I had to do a 30min plus mission over again because the game crashed in the middle. And it isn't just me, other family members on different PCs have the same problem.
    2) The loading performance is bad. Maybe it's just a symptom of having a complex detailed world, but the game takes way to long to load on a high end PC with an M2 drive unlike most other games I play.
    3) The pace of the game is way to slow for me. I like that it is story driven but a lot of it just moves too slow. The game often kicks into movie mode where basically the game takes over and you are watching a movie. Some of these movies are very slow and drawn out. A lot of time it's just a video of you riding a horse and you can't individually skip these parts.
    I get they are trying to set a mood, but mine turns to boredom. Instead of a skip button, maybe a speed up option would be nicer, like a 1.25, 1.5, 2x speed would have been great.
    4) Has an unusual, perhaps console based, save system where you can only save when you are out of a mission. Some of these missions can be very long so you either have to play it all through to the end, or restart it when you reenter the game. On top of that when you restore a save it puts you in some random spot and under a different context. Like if you save in front of a random encounter and then load the game the encounter is not there.
    It's as if the game developer is trying to punish players..

So I am out 80 bucks and have a completely broken unplayable game! This is by far the worst game launch Ive seen in my 20+ years of PC gaming. I have reported Rockstar and Epic games to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and I highly suggest you all do the same if you're game is broken and you are also unable to get your money back. Rockstar should be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.....even though they aren't. The fact that they have been almost radio silent and are only posting impersonal BS tweets from Rockstar Support that say "they are working on it" tells me that they knew the game wasn't going to work on many PC's and just planned on releasing it anyway and riding out the storm in silence.

    I think it's the best display of player freedom I've experienced in a game. You can play it exactly as you want to. Go hunting, fishing, exploring. Visit small towns, big towns, cabins in the woods. Towns burned to the ground. People building houses that actually get built as time passes in the game. There's also a smorgasbord of comedic, shocking and harrowing random encounters to deal with. The game never feels boring or empty. It's the one game where I'd rather ride to the opposite side of the map for the 50th time, than I'd use fast travel. You can fast travel a bit later in the game. But I rarely do! I simply enjoy just riding and stumbling upon weird stuff I can experience.

    I absolutely love everything about this game.

    My biggest warning to anyone considering purchasing RDR2 on PC is that you need to have patience when you set it up. Take the time to go through each graphics option, compare your performance on Vulkan vs. DirectX 12, and tailor the game to your specs. Once you have the game tuned, there’s no better way to experience it than on PC.
